Fitment on a used sump varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
Both years fall within the W222 generation (2013–2020), but the key factor is the engine code, not the year — a sump is matched to the engine, not the chassis. Confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and supply it to the breaker, who can verify whether the donor sump matches. Never assume fitment on year alone, even within the same generation.
The W221 (2005–2013) and W222 (2013–2020) are separate generations, and while some engine families carried across, sump castings and mounting arrangements can differ even on nominally similar units. This is a generation-boundary crossing, so route this directly to the breaker with both registration numbers or engine codes so they can check against their stock. Do not assume interchangeability without that confirmation.
Trim level and badge do not affect sump fitment; what matters is the engine code, which differs between the S350 (diesel or petrol six-cylinder) and S500 (V8 petrol). Supply your engine code from the V5 to the breaker rather than relying on the badge, because two cars with the same badge but different model-year engine variants may not share the same sump. The trim name itself — AMG Line, SE, EQ, or otherwise — is irrelevant to this mechanical part.
Yes — petrol and diesel engines have different sump designs, even within the same S-Class generation, and they are not interchangeable. Always confirm whether your car is petrol or diesel and pass the engine code to the breaker alongside your registration. Fuel type is one of the most important filters after the engine code itself.
The W222 received a facelift in 2017, and while many powertrain components remained broadly similar across that boundary, mid-production ancillary and mounting changes can occur that affect individual parts like the sump. Because of that uncertainty around the facelift boundary, you should confirm fitment with the breaker using your engine code and registration rather than assuming a pre-2017 sump will drop straight in. The breaker can cross-reference the donor vehicle's details against yours.
The single most useful detail is the engine code, which you can find on your V5 registration document or via a VIN check — it identifies exactly which engine you have beyond what the badge suggests. Also provide your registration, model year, fuel type, and gearbox type (automatic or manual), as these help the breaker narrow down compatibility. The more precise you are with the engine code, the better the chance of a correct match.
